Take a film of Jacques Tati like Mon Oncle which has something quite new - for me, unique - in it.

Unless it's done superbly, as in the Japanese film Gate of Hell, color can be a very distracting element.

Animation is manipulating the difference.

The process of art evolving is always one which has fascinated me.

The number of strokes to the inch controls the pitch of the note: the more, the higher the pitch; the fewer, the lower the pitch, the size of the stroke controls the loudness... the tone quality is the most difficult element to control, it is made by the shape of the strokes.

Well rounded forms gives smooth sounds; sharper or angular forms give harder and harsher sounds.
